https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cook_Partisan_Voting_Index CPVI "Cook Partisan Voting Index" :: Prior to its April 2009 update, the PVI formula was calculated by comparing district-level results for the past two presidential elections to nationwide results for the most recent election. David Nir of the Swing State Project advocated a change to the new formula, and Charlie Cook agreed, wanting an "apples to apples" comparison.

The Cook PVI is formatted as a letter, plus sign, and number: :: Letter: The major party, Democratic (D) or Republican (R), to which the district leans :: Number: The extent of that lean, in rounded percentage points :: For districts without a lean, the index written as "EVEN" without a number.

State Legislative and Congressional Redistricting after the 2010 Census

Redistricting is often a highly politicized process. According to Bill Thomas, a 2010 Congressional candidate from Maryland, the real goal of redistricting is "to repackage constituents in ways designed to benefit the party in power. The 8th Congressional District in Maryland... is a carefully crafted inkblot. Voters only think they choose elected officials, but it’s elected officials who choose them," he said. Jennifer Clark, a political science professor, said gerrymandering is common in most states. "The redistricting process has important consequences for voters. In some states, incumbent legislators work together to protect their own seats, which produces less competition in the political system. Voters may feel as though they do not have a meaningful alternative to the incumbent legislator. Legislators who lack competition in their districts have less incentive to adhere to their constituents’ opinions," she said.

Thomas Mann, a scholar at the Brookings Institution has written extensively on redistricting reform. Mann wrote, "Redistricting is a deeply political process, with incumbents actively seeking to minimize the risk to themselves (via bipartisan gerrymanders) or to gain additional seats for their party (via partisan gerrymanders)."

Dear, Friends & acquaintances, Susan does not "donate" money to the Dem-Party. Her "vote- is all that she has to give."

THANK YOU! CONGRESSMAN TURNER! [OH 10] [HR 676]
Congressman Turner is a Republican; but, he had the guts to VOTE "NO" on Trump's Healthcare plan.
Hopefully, he will hold strong and he can persuade others.

Portman issued the following statement on the discussion draft of the Senate health care legislation:

“As I’ve said previously, the Affordable Care Act is not working for many Ohio families and small businesses. My goal is to create a more workable system that lowers the cost of coverage, provides access to quality care, and protects the most vulnerable in our society. There are some promising changes to reduce premiums in the individual insurance market, but I continue to have real concerns about the Medicaid policies in this bill, especially those that impact drug treatment at a time when Ohio is facing an opioid epidemic. I look forward to examining this new proposal carefully and reviewing the analysis by the Congressional Budget Office when it is available. If the final legislation is good for Ohio, I will support it. If not, I will oppose it. As this process moves forward, I will continue to work to protect Ohio’s interests and ensure that our health care system works better for all Ohioans.”

ONE of the nicest things my daughter ever said to me: "Mom, she's like you." Dawn had related (to me) an incident [ she witnessed] - while serving on Capital Hill. She was present ( she stated) - in a meeting - during the early 1990s; Where, a person - in a meeting ( with Maxine Waters ) - started to shove "a small toy baby doll" - at her [Congresswoman Maxine Waters]. Maxine 1) stopped the "shove" - gently. 2) Took hold of the toy doll. 3) then, shoved it ( "gently" ) right - back - at the person - and, 4) made a quiet statement. That - my daughter - thought was most appropriate.

I am ( like most American women ) a great "admirer of Ms. Waters. So, to be "compared" - to her - by my daughter - was, a tremendous compliment. Ms. Waters represents an American "Profile() of Courage" - that women [ all over the world ] need to be aware of. Moreover, American women are safer (today) - because of her efforts. MY story - will speak to the influence - these "Strong Women" have had - on my life.

Dawn Marie got Lincoln logs (from Mommy) this year. ( circa1976 ) Susan - Dawn's mom - is a "DEMOCRAT". Susan believes that everyone should be able to love a person - of their choosing - AND, that - hopefully - everyone will be loved by someone - in return. Democrats believe " that LGBT rights are human rights and that American foreign policy should advance the ability of all persons to live with dignity, security, and respect, regardless of who they are or who they love." [ see DNC 2016 Platform - page 17 ] [Democrats] applaud President Obama’s historic Presidential Memorandum on International Initiatives to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Persons, which combats criminalization, protects refugees, and provides foreign assistance. [Democrats] will continue to stand with LGBT people around the world, including fighting efforts by any nation to infringe on LGBT rights or ignore abuse."

NOTE: Susan also saved the PDF - because, the R's will probably want to take it down [ to fix it ] - after...

[ REPUBLICANS state] We are the party of a growing economy that gives everyone a chance in life, an opportunity to learn, work, and realize the prosperity freedom makes possible.

(SUSAN) Really? Who says so?
Also "freedom" without Social Justice - is a fool's errand.

Government cannot create prosperity, though government can limit or destroy it.

Government (Our USA Republic) is necessary & the "Rule of Law" is essential - to ensure the will of the people is enacted fairly - and, through-out our great country. For example - many laws are passed - and, never or unfairly enforced. I refer you to Mr. Lincoln - and Martin Luther King

Prosperity is the product of self-discipline, enterprise, saving and investment by individuals...

YES, but "luck" plays a role also; and, being born into a "wealthy family" can make a significant difference in opportunities and outcomes.

Pundits and Democrats tell us that we should accept the new normal of a slow-growing economy.

President Obama and his party will set a record of being the first modern president ever to leave office without a single calendar year of three percent economic growth. As a result, the number of Americans living in poverty has increased by 7 million, our nation’s economy has lost nearly $8 trillion of cumulative output compared with an average recovery, and the economic growth shortfall has left a cumulative real after-tax per person personal income shortfall of nearly $17,000 compared with an average recovery.

Under President Obama and the Democrats, new private-sector jobs are three million below where they should have been with just average modern post-recession growth.
Where is the scientific basis for this statement? (Susan) Our labor force participation rate has plunged to at or below 63 percent for far too long, lows last seen two generations ago before President Reagan was elected in 1980. Business closures have exceeded business startups throughout the Obama Presidency.

Where is the scientific basis for these statements? (Susan)

Strong growth, more jobs, increasing incomes, and expanding opportunity are all in short supply under President Obama and the Democrats.

The above sentiment/ statement is a Gross distortion - with the basis unstated.

We repudiate the absurd idea this is the best America can do.

Who exactly "repudiates" the "absurd idea"? And, who stated the "idea"? - that the creators of this platform document attempt to use.

Please also see the General Electric web site. AND, the related stories - about the sale of GE assets ...

That equation [ Competitiveness equals jobs. ] governs our policies regarding U.S. corporations in the global economy. Private investment is a key driver of economic growth and job creation. After falling dramatically during the recession, private investment has recovered at a disappointing pace due in part to high corporate tax rates and increasing regulatory burdens and uncertainty.

What "part"? What is the scientific basis of this statement ? The platform committee assigns blame.

Susan raises her hand. Dear "RNC Platform Comm. - I can imagine a more damaging USA tax policy. For example, a tax policy that 1) gives incentives to the "rich" to create clubs - that - in essence - exclude most Americans; or, 2) permitting companies to utilize and rape the vast natural resources - of this great continent- without any recompense - to the other 99% - of Americans ( which these resources are our inheritance); or 3) Corporate "inversion" That is, letting companies call themselves "American" but ... My imagination is great - the list, that I could create, would be very long.

We propose to level the international playing field by lowering the corporate tax rate to be on a par with, or below, the rates of other industrial nations.

... as well as the current Administration’s Export Council, to switch to a territorial system of taxation so that profits earned and taxed abroad may be repatriated for job-creating investment here at home. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President%27s_Export_Council ] ALSO, CREATED BY PRESIDENT OBABAMA!

We believe American companies should be headquartered in America. We should reduce barriers to accomplishing that goal.

In fact, many companies - that "send jobs overseas are "head-quartered" in America. That is, Executives reside in America - while "workers" are hired overseas AB You need to be aware of "unicorns" - and, insist their work-force is composed of a significant percentage of American citizens. Also, Susan suggests - a change to your platform language that "... profits earned and taxed abroad must be repatriated for job-creating investment here at home."

And, please do not send USA troops - into foreign countries - ONLY to protect "American interests" [ in that country ] - then, fail to reimburse America & Americans 100% for her treasure and American blood spilled on foreign soil.

With the help of FORTUNE MAGAZINE ( http://fortune.com/ ) Susan is aware of a lot of USA companies - that, although "headquartered" in America [ USA ] still build factory facilities - in other countries - and, thus, "ship jobs" - by the thousands - out of America. ( LINK )

Susan was a member of Retail Clerks Union local 1059 [ the [ bARNEY] Kroger Company ] - when she was a very young woman. Her membership – in that USA Union – literally saved the life – of her unborn child – when she was involved in an automobile accident; which, was NOT her fault ( in 1972 ). Then, at the birth – of her daughter – Susan was suffering from “toxemia” – related to injuries received – in the accident. Again, her Union membership ( with Krogers ) enabled her to retain the services – of a Nationally recognized obstetrician: L. David Hall. He saved Susan’s life – and, her baby-girl. Today, that baby is an employee of the USA FBI.

“ [REPUBLICANS] envision a worldwide multilateral agreement among nations committed to the principles of open markets, what has been called a “Reagan Economic Zone,”

" ... 18 September 2012, 12:00am :: President Barack Obama initiates trade case against China. A trade case against China was initiated by President Barack Obama’s administration yesterday after claiming that the country had violated World Trade Organisation rules by providing extensive subsidies to auto and auto parts exporters"

Susan specifically consulted: "Environmental Regulations and the Housing Market: A Review of the Literature" by Katherine A. Kiel :College of the Holy Cross Department of Economics: Published in " Cityscape: A Journal of Policy Development and Research • Volume 8, Number 1 • 2005 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development • Office of Policy Development and Research. Introduction: Environmental regulations in the United States are intended to improve the quality of the environment; preserve ecosystems, including wildlife; and protect human health. These regulations are often written without considering how much they will cost; some regulations are explicitly required to ignore costs. In evaluating current regulations as well as future laws, both the costs and the benefits must be considered. Only in this way can careful decisions be made on which regulations will be enacted and enforced. A decision may be made to ignore the costs, but in doing so, decisionmakers must be mindful of what is being sacrificed as well as what is being gained. Some environmental regulations impact the housing market by affecting the supply of developable land or by restricting its use. Other environmental regulations focus not on the land market but rather on polluters such as factories, utility plants, and automobiles. Polluters may, however, attempt to pass the costs placed on them to other consumers, including housing developers and landowners. Thus, environmental regulations can impact the cost of supplying housing. "

** [REPUBLICANS] will end the government mandates that required Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and federally insured banks to satisfy lending quotas to specific groups.

Susan feels that “anti-discrimination” laws are fundamental to ending discrimination; In Susan’s personal (life) experience [ She has lived and worked all over the USA] “Affirmative Action” is required – in America – related to entrenched ignorance and the positive results of human beings actually interacting with each other – on a fair and level playing field.

REPUBLICANS state: [the Highway Trust Fund – spending]... “One fifth of its funds are spent on mass transit, an inherently local affair that serves only a small portion of the population, concentrated in six big cities. [Additional funds of the Highway Trust Fund] are used for bike-share programs, sidewalks, recreational trails, landscaping, and historical renovations. Other beneficiaries of highway money are ferry boats, the federal lands access program, scenic byways, and education initiatives.

Recognizing that, over time, additional revenue will be needed to expand the carrying capacity of roads and bridges,

** [ REPUBLICANS] will remove legal roadblocks to public-private partnership agreements that can save the taxpayers’ money and bring outside investment to meet a community’s needs. With most of the states increasing their own funding for transportation, we oppose a further increase in the federal gas tax.

TSA: Although unionization has never been permitted in any government agency concerned with national security, the current Administration has reversed that policy for the Transportation Security Administration. We will correct that mistake.

https://democrats-homeland.house.gov/news/legislation/thompson-lowey-introduce-bill-grant-rights-tsa-frontline-workforce “ … Feb 9, 2016 : Legislation : (WASHINGTON) – Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, along with Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY), Ranking Member of the Committee on Appropriations, introduced legislation to ensure that the more than 40,000 Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) who serve on the security frontlines at our Nation’s airports are provided basic Federal workplace protections and rights that are provided to other Federal employees under Title 5 of the U.S. Code. They include collective bargaining, whistleblower protections, and protections against discrimination based on age or handicap. Today, TSOs do not have the right to appeal personnel decisions to the Merit Systems Protection Board and subject to a compensation system that bears little resemblance to the well-established General Services wage system. H.R. 4488, the “Rights for Transportation Security Officers Act of 2016” will ensure that TSOs are afforded the rights and protections that are conferred to most other Federal employees. …”

6-19-2017 After getting - the above "far" - into the Official Republican Party Platform document, I "googled" : "Are REPUBLICANS Christians?". One of the returns gave me the following information > see Wikopedia : " [THE] Christian ...right is a term - used mainly in the United States - to label ... socially conservative policies. The Christian right is notable today for advancing socially conservative positions on issues including: ..." Then, I "googled": "socially conservative policies list". One of the returns was the following:

Today, ThoughCO states: " Indeed, most of today’s conservatives see themselves as social conservatives, although there are other types. The following list contains common beliefs with which most social conservatives identify. ... The “typical” social conservative strongly supports them all. "

AT THIS WRITING, SUSAN CAN NOT STATE THE BASIS OF WHY THOUGHTCO STATES THE " TYPICAL ...".

According to "critical analysis" - as it is presented by UWGB professors and PhDs - statements supported without a scientific basis... [

GoDaddy - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoDaddy :: In 2013, GoDaddy was reported as the largest ICANN-accredited registrar in the world, at the size of four times their closest competitor. They also have a 270,000 square foot facility in Phoenix, Arizona. Headquarters‎: ‎Scottsdale, Arizona, U.S.A Revenue‎: ‎US$1,607,300,000 (2015) Employees‎: ‎5000+ (2015) Founder(s)‎: ‎Bob Parsons

Go Daddy History <<<< https://corporateofficehq.com/go-daddy-corporate-office/GoDaddy is an internet domain registrar and web hosting company. GoDaddy was founded as Jomax Technologies in 1997 by Bob Parsons. " Prior to starting the company Parsons had founded and sold his financial services company "Parson’s Technology Inc." for several million dollars to Intuit. In 1999 a group of employees at Jomax decided to change the name of the company. They decided on GoDaddy because it made people smile and remember it. Today, GoDaddy provides both businesses and individuals with internet services such as domain registration and website hosting, along with software and services for website creation, e-commerce, and podcasting. The company has 53 million domain names under management. Founder Bob Parsons continues to be the majority stakeholder."

I telephoned earlier - and, spoke to "Todd" with Sales & Support
- in Gilbert/PhoeniX Arizona: GoDaddy Headquarters. 24/7 Support (480) 505-8877 ( As we discussed, I did live in AZ many years ago.)

TODAY, I live in Dayton, OhiO !

In fact, I did live in Fountain Hills, AZ - for a while (circa 1996). took me - to "Scottsdale" and CAVEcreek - whenever, I wanted to go there. Today, that same man - my husband - does take me to the "Kleptz YMCA" - in Ohio - whenever I want to go there. That is, since my stroke [ANUERYSM AT mca] - in 2012. My (Hans) escorts me - each day - to perform my Physical Therapy; which, this takes approximately 2 hours.

So, Todd (earlier today) seemed to understand my concerns. I am a Democrat - and, trying to get the "departing" Mayor - of Dayton, Ohio ( Nan Whaley ) to endorse a very nice - young African American man - to be the person to succeed her.

My web site ( http://www.hansandcassady.org/ ) - at the present time - contains my recent Email (to her: Nan Whaley) with my question. She has not answered me - at this writing - However, I expect her to - very soon. Nan's motto - is that “no citizen - of Dayton ( or OHio ) is invisible (to her)”. We SHALL SEE.

In fact, I feel like Republicans are already - coming out of the so-called "wood work" (figure of American speech) to undermine my support - for this fine young man. Most probably, because he is a Democrat. But, it may also be related to the fact that I am a "CASSADY" - the OSU Buckeye Heisman trophy winner [1955]. “Howard” was my Uncle Pearl's son ["Howard-hopAlong"]. My father was, Milo Gerald CASSADY. The 3 boys - Milo, Francis and Pearl - all lived at the CASSADY farm - located, just outside (then) of Columbus, Ohio. My father passed (circa 1963). The year that Mr. Kennedy was shot. My father ( also an Irishman & Catholic ) - he loved Mr. Kennedy. I was born - in 1954 - so, I was just a "little girl" - when he passed.

Today, my little girl, is the Deputy Chief of Staff - at the fbi :: in, Washington, DC: Ms. Dawn Marie Burton. Even as a senior, I am still an "Obama girl". As you may be aware, President Donald Trump (a Republican) just fired the USA FBI Director - because, [many believe] Mr. James Comey (now former USA FBI Director) knew! - that the Russians had videos of him (Mr. Trump) - basically, making a fool of himself - in Russia - at the Ms. Universe pageant - when, he was a married man. Mr. Trump demanded the video tapes - from Mr. Comey (in a meeting) - and, James said "no". Mr. Trump (then) fired Mr. Comey. Some (most imo) “Republicans” can be real ass holes (figure of American speech) – when it comes to working with Democrats. Jim is a Democrat. At some point, the big media reporters (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX ) - will probably ask my "little girl" [ Dawn Marie Burton ] – about ALL of this - which, I am dreading (this); because, she - and Mr. Comey (they) go way back.

I did receive a suspicious email - from a company (or, their representative) - called "Nation Builders". But, because, I do not want anything "built" - this seemed very odd (to me). And, someone?, from that same company has been telephoning me - also. Which, this may be a robot call.

Now - as i told Todd (GoDaddy employee). I telephoned him – so AARP said it was OK – to be very frank. ) did, just buy a brand new DELL computer for me. So, a company - called MacAfee/Intel - is providing me with "already installed" DELL computer virus protections software. Then, Todd told me about GoDaddy 'site - LOCK' - for $4.99 per month.

MY QUESTION: What is the difference between GoDaddy 'site-LOCK' AND what the McAfee company software [ called "Live SAFE"] can do for me?

I do NOT want the USA Republican party "operatives" - to be able to make my GoDaddy hosted web site HTML pages ( http://www.hansandcassady.org/ ) - to become - corrupted - or, to look like I support the Republicans - or, Mr. Trump. Which, I do NOT!

In fact, my little girl - and ALL of her co-workers - to my knowledge - THEY thought that Mr. Comey - was the "best". Just look at the terrific "inner-city" fbi programs - that he started.https://www.fbi.gov/about/community-outreach/dcla Jim is a man with imagination! And, guts! YES, Mr. James Comey - and, my little girl, thought that DCLA award idea up. If, this is what Mr. Trump calls "showboating" - then, give me more "showboating" please! It is a program that works. Photos do not lie!

Please appreciate, that I did (before my stroke) create all of the User Manuals for SIGRITY's SPEED 2000 EDA software. We kept our "company software" - "safe" - from other countries [like Russia & China] - (Who were trying to steal it!) - using a "dongle" security system. In hi-tech lingo - this is also called "reverse engineering" prevention.

That is, I do NOT want the Republican "operatives" to be able - to use back-doors - that ALL the top software engineers (in the USA) place into the software products [which we build] - so that we can control the "robots" - that we sell - to other countries. This is common knowledge - that this is done - among high-tech workers - in America. Since my stroke, I am not classified to work Top Secret anymore. Basically, my medicine inclines me to talk to much.

In fact, Dr. Fang's and Raymond Chen's designs [for EDA software] were so good - the people at CADENCE-Allegro – company - purchased our SIGRITY SPEED 2000 product for about 83 Million dollars.

Again, this is not TOP SECRET information - anymore. That is, most high-tech workers - in the USA Silicon valley area - know about these kinds of "security" measures. This fact - also provides a perfect example - of WHY - Mr. Trump cannot be trusted - to handle secret USA technology information. Again, Mr. Comey (FBI) probably knows - that, the Russians were [YES] handed this software technology - on a dongle OR a thumb drive - by Mr. Trump (for a ton of money). When, he (Mr. Trump) was running for USA President - or, thinking about it. See,Miss Universe - Moscow.

ONE of the nicest things my daughter ever said to me: "Mom, she's like you." (Dawn had related (to me) an incident [ she witnessed] - while serving on Capital Hill. She was present ( she stated) - in a meeting - during the early 1990s; Where, a person - in the meeting ( with Maxine Waters ) - started to shove "a small toy baby doll" - at her [Congresswoman Maxine Waters]. Maxine stopped the "shove" - gently. Took hold of the toy doll. And then, shoved it ( "gently" ) right - back - at the person - and, made a quite statement. That my daughter - thought was most appropriate. I am ( like most American women ) a great "admirer of Ms. Waters. So, to be "compared" - to her - by my daughter - was, a tremendous compliment. Ms. Waters represents an American "Profile() of Courage" - that women [ all over the world ] need to be aware of. Moreover, American women are safer (today) - because of her efforts. Thank you! Ms. Waters - for your public service. (VAWA)

This is the software - that Susan "documented" - in California USA - before her stroke - i.e. she "created the User's Guide Manual for" this software > [ Speed2000 ] But, she succeeded ( at all ) ONLY with the help of her Chinese - and Indian - and Pakistan co-workers. Mr. Jaime Garcia was from Mexico. Ms. Bing knew 5-languages & she was from Hong Kong. They answered her many - many questions - with patience and thoroughness; This made her small victories (of documentation) possible ( at all ). Americans (especially Mr. Trump - and Republicans) should understand and "thank God" - IMO - that Dr. Jiayuan Fang still wants to live in America. At his newest school (in California) - he will teach American children to perform mathematics - like he can perform mathematics. IMO Dr. Fang "feels" the Electromagnetic waves - just like Mr. Einstein (did). He models the way they (the circuits & waves) of Electrical Packages move. He loves America! We are very lucky! - Dr. Fang was born in China. http://www.sigrity.com :: HISTORY ! America is strong because of her diversity.

TO: My Congressman, Mr. MiKE Turner OhiO 10 YEAH! :-) Thank YOU! Mr. Turner!
Sir, YOU were - but one - of 20 Republicans - who "joined" the 193 Democrats voting on the American Health Care Act AND they opposed it - as did YOU.
This took "guts" Mike - and, I ( for one ) appreciate your courage to do this; Particularly, shown in the face of 217 "other" REpublicans- who voted FOR the bill's passage - to the Senate. I noted (also), that many other OHiO Congressman - ALL REPUBLICANS - voted FOR the passage. And, one other - Ohio Congress - voted - also - No (with YOU). Rep. David Joyce,

Sir, I have downloaded the 820+ page PDF (of the Bill- 1628) - and, the related CRS "summaries" (there are 4 of them). ( If you want me to study - this big mess of documents - to help you - with your opposition to "TRUMP CARE" I will do this. In the meantime, I want to encourage YOU - and other Republicans - to please look at Congressman Coyer's BiLL - [HR 676]

1) I reported a "problem with your USA government web site" - this AM. The error message - that I did receive - is shown - following. I hope that the Republicans - that supported - President TRUMP - on the Health CARE bill vote (5-4-2017) - are not "messing" with you. i.e. your web site. You may realize - that as a "high-technology" worker - in California - for many years - I did know a bunch of stuff - about "Cyber-Technology" [ See my work experience (with SIGRITY EDA]. - Sir, in fact - even so-called "secure" servers - can be breached. I did NOT perform the "UP-keep" on Dr. Fang's company web-server - but, I could have. In fact (THE) Raymond Chen (from Beijing, China ) - performed this function - for Dr. J. Fang (Phd). Raymond - and I - had very good & long (fun) conversations - about "what it is possible ( not probable) - but possible - to be accomplished - using the WWW. Again - as I state on my web site - we are very lucky - to have Dr. Fang & Mr. Raymond Chen "happy" and living in the USA. America! - in my opinion - is safer and stronger - because, they "love" our country [ which - is now - their country]. I know our "silicon Valley"- California is safer - because - that is where they still live ( with their children - that they love).

2) I have also updated my web site - with my "praise" - for your most recent vote - on Health-CARE. I am (still) a Democrat - and, in your corner.http://www.hansANDcassady.org

ONE of the nicest things my daughter ever said to me: "Mom, she's like you." (Dawn had related (to me) an incident [ she witnessed] - while serving on Capital Hill. She was present ( she stated) - in a meeting - during the early 1990s; Where, a person - in the meeting ( with Maxine Waters ) - started to shove "a small toy baby doll" - at her [Congresswoman Maxine Waters]. Maxine stopped the "shove" - gently. Took hold of the toy doll. And then, shoved it ( "gently" ) right - back - at the person - and, made a quite statement. That my daughter - thought was most appropriate. I am ( like most American women ) a great "admirer of Ms. Waters. So, to be "compared" - to her - by my daughter - was, a tremendous compliment. Ms. Waters represents an American "Profile() of Courage" - that women [ all over the world ] need to be aware of. Moreover, American women are safer (today) - because of her efforts. Thank you! Ms. Waters - for your public service. (VAWA)

Thus, America is better - because of :
A) "Public Schools" (The University of Wisconsin [UWGB] is a "public" education institution). And, all - but $6,000 - of my higher-education costs ( circa 1977 - 1982) were covered by USA DOE Education - grants and "Work-Study" programs.B)And, America is stronger & safer [F35-JSF] - because, my daughter was employed (by me) - in a "high-tech" independent business venture - where she daily (was required) - related to her duties as a textbook "digital artist" - to study and absorb - Science Technology Engineering & Math [STEM]; C) and, Dawn was [thus] very able & capable to play a very significant role - in the: a) creation of the "Unmatched" - by any other country in the world: F35 Joint-Strike-Fighter air craft...b) AND, the re-election (several times) of the Honorable Mr. John Conyers to the United States Congress.

Sir, as you will recall, I am supportive of your efforts to make America & zip code 45405 a great place to live. And, it is already pretty nice.
Formerly, of Central Ohio - I now make my home in your Congressional district [ Ohio 10 ].
Specifically, I am not employed - or, paid - by YOU ( or anyone) - to say - or request - the following things:

Mr. Conyers ( see link above ) is the U.S. Representative for Michigan's 13th congressional district.
He has been a member of Congress since 1965; and, he is currently our Congress's longest-serving current member,

making him the "Dean of the House of Representatives."

As he may recall, Mr. Conyers - employed the services of my daughter ( Dawn Marie Burton) during his 1990-ish RE-election campaigns. He won!

[ In fact, I treasure the memory of Mr. Conyers - telephoning me at my business address - in 1990+ - and thanking me
- for sending (to him) my daughter. To work on his campaign. I chuckle (now) - for, in fact, I had done no such thing.
No!, my daughter had arranged that "gig" - all by herself.

It was only later - that I came to fully understand completely "who" and "what" John Conyers was. That is, a great human-being!
I knew - by the sound of his voice - He was famous - that - it was - "THE" John Conyers.
I recall he told me (that day): "Mom, you do not have to worry about your girl. I will take care of her." And, he did.

**** Sir, I was a small-business owner (in Central Ohio) for many years - and, during this time - one of my largest monthly expenses was
Health-Care coverage ( Blue-Cross/ Blue Shield ) for my employees. As you are aware (today) - my competitors ( many in other countries )
did not - and, do NOT have this cost. Thus, the expansion of MEDI-care - as proposed by Congressman Conyer's Bill [ HR 676 ] - would be a tremendous assistance to the Small-Business enterprises - of America.

In fact, the progress of this HR 676 - would: 1) Bring America into the mainstream of GREAT Country's that offer this - as a right - for their citizens [ the passage - of this alone - would help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! ]; 2) place a huge benefit in the hands of America's small business owners AND their employees; and, 3) cover the American citizen - with Universal Health Insurance - in a manner that was first proposed - by President Harry Truman - at the request of FDR.

Sir, I am updating my web site with the "historical perspectives" of "American Universal Health Care" - since, the late 1800s - at this time.
I will soon be able to articulate - based on my research - WHO the "progressives" truly are - and, who and "why" the very notion - of "Socialized Medicine" - has powerful enemies.

Please GOOGLE to find my site: Susan Marie Cassady American Health :: I try to work on my site daily.

However, ( I admit) that I am slow - mostly, related to the stroke that I suffered. Not to worry - my doctors - who I am grateful for

- THEY think that I am doing good.

In fact, I am "carrying the flag" - for my medical doctors - on Health CARE - because, they feel, they may be out-cast... if they try to.

Again, (Mike) I will support YOUR efforts - as I am able to.

And, YOU & Mr. Trump [teamed-Up] - just may be able to succeed - at "Universal Health Care Reform" - where others - many others - have failed. (for over 100 years.) I know that Mr. Trump would have the support of the "Dean" of the Democrats ( John Conyers). I think - together - we can get Ms. Pelosi on board - also. Specifically, Mr. Trump does not "need" the AMA support; whereas, others - even past Presidents - according to my historical research (thus far) - were literally forced to pander to them. The historical roots of this will be presented on my web site.

Good Luck Sir! And, God's speed. - Susan

the "historical perspectives" of the "American Universal Health Care" idea - since, the late 1800s -

**************************************

YES, Susan is still researching - and puzzled - and writing...
- as to WHY? American Health CARE - as a universal "right" - ( similar to "public education" ) - is so difficult - in the USA ?

The Social Security Act (the Act) requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish payments under the Medicare Physician Payment Schedule based on national uniform relative value units (RVUs) that account for the relative resources used in furnishing a service.

The Act requires that RVUs be established for 3 categories of resources:
1. Physician work
2. Practice expense (PE)
3. Malpractice (MP) expense

Insurance is a critical piece of a modern economic system, but it often goes unnoticed until it becomes prohibitively expensive or its availability is curtailed. Such problems reportedly occurred recently in the medical malpractice insurance market.

Many physicians experienced substantial increases in insurance premiums, and there have been reports of problems with availability of physician services due to doctors retiring or relocating from areas that have seen high premium increases. This was not the first time such a crisis has been proclaimed; similar events occurred in the latter half of both the 1970s and 1980s.

The fundamental purpose of insurance is to transfer an indefinite risk from one party to another for a definite premium. The pricing of this premium is critical, but determining this price is uncertain because it depends on estimates of the chance of a future loss, as well as the estimated value of that loss. The premium will also depend on estimates of future investment gains or losses because an insurer also acts as a financial intermediary and invests the capital that is held in reserve against future losses.

Offering liability insurance for medical malpractice has proven a difficult market for insurance companies for a variety of reasons and the market has been unstable during the past three decades.

The recurring market problems have provoked various policy reactions in both state legislatures and in Congress.

Assessing the effectiveness of particular policy changes is, however, complex and strong conclusions have typically been equally strongly disputed.

In the 109th Congress, the House passed a bill, H.R. 5, whose centerpiece was a limitation on tort claims for medical malpractice; similar bills passed the House in the previous two Congresses.

The Senate, however, did not act on any of these House bills, and failed to invoke cloture on the Senate bills addressing medical malpractice.

There has been no floor or committee action on bills addressing medical malpractice issues in the 110th Congress.
